The Etsy 90 Project, Listing 358 - 365

…and that's it -- another year of the Etsy Project here at Vintage Junk in My Trunk! I honestly didn't think I'd be able to do another 365 days (like 2013), which is why I broke the challenge up into 90 day increments, but it actually was not too bad.

I am NOT, however, doing the challenge in 2015. Although I was able to get through this year fairly easily, I am feeling a bit burned out and think I should end it before it gets the best of me. My blog has been neglected since June, with only weekly postings of the Etsy Project, so I'd like to get back to a more regular posting of my yard sale and flea market finds.

I will still be listing on Etsy on a regular basis -- I'm thinking themes? -- but I haven't figured it all out yet. Not that I'm sure anyone is still out there reading -- are you all just looking at photos on Instagram? Is this even relevant any more? Is Etsy? Facebook? Looking for these and other answers in 2015!

In the meantime, I listed this interesting vintage tote bag, handmade in Greece. It even seemed Christmas-y to me.

Vintage wind-up musical baby planter in pink and blue, with a sweet baby deer image on either side. My daughter and I made chocolate-covered Oreo pops for her teacher's baby shower, and used a similar one to gift and display the pops. They and the planter were a big hit!

Took me four months, but I finally decided to list the set of Butterprint Pyrex bowls I found in Bouckville this year. I like the color, but am not enamored with the print, so off they go. I think I'm going to stick with the Snowflake pattern, since it shares the cool aqua color.

Matching fridgie casserole dish.

Another Pyrex, in the gold leaf pattern. There was a lid when I found it, but it was not the right size.

Set of four Limoges USA pink plates for your vintage shabby chic table.

These plates are hand painted and made in France.

And finally, I thought it would be appropriate to list a typewriter for my final entry in the project. Here's to a happy, healthy, and prosperous New Year to you and yours!

I follow you, but since you don't have a widget to add my name to a mailing list, I have to remember to come on over for a visit. It's a personal list that I don't get to often. I love seeing what thrifters/sellers are up to, though. Maybe you can consider the widget? Best wishes in the new year!

I'm definitely still reading! Love to see what you've found and fun to keep an eye out for those items you think will be valuable. Found a Shiny Brite "Silent Night" ornament once you had brought my attention to that specific design! Happy New Year!

I'm reading and check your blog regularly. I am also an etsy seller and your challenge has been an inspiration. I also love reading about your flea market and garage sale finds. Hope you keep the blog going - I know it is a lot of work but it is one of my favorites!
